1st appearance and origin of Bullseye

[November 2022 - rumored to appear in the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again / December 2022 - an inside source reported to us the following details about the third Deadpool movie after reading an early version of the script that sounds to have been before Hugh Jackman was secured as co-lead. Bullseye was the villain in the script's first iteration. In one scene, Deadpool is on the run, injured, weaponless and missing an arm. Deadpool stumbles upon the corpse of Logan in the woods, the setting of which is the scene where the Logan film ended. Deadpool severs Logan’s arms and with his own healing factor, attaches them to use as weapons. Again, this was an early version of the script, most likely written before Hugh Jackman had committed to the film and how much will be retained is unknown]
